Live Bookmarks
Another exciting feature of Firefox is the ability to create Live
Bookmarks which incorporate RSS feeds.
To create a Live Bookmark when you come to a site that has an RSS feed
you'll see a orange broadcast symbol located in the bottom righthand
corner of the screen.
Right next to where a popup blocker thing (indicator) would be. If you
click on that (orange broadcast symbol) you'll have the option to
subscribe to the RSS. 06:43 If you choose/select to do that you'll then
be asked to confrim the name and where to put that bookmark.
When you open the(Live) bookmark it will show a list of all the stories
listed in the RSS feed. To refresh the RSS feed if you right click on
it on then select refresh Live Bookmarks.
In this case they are the same. (stories before and after refreshing the
RSS feed)
If for whatever reason the RSS symbol is not appearing in the bottom
righthand corner of the screen you can also create a Live bookmark if
you know the location (of the feed).
Go into Bookmarks, select Manage Bookmarks and then go to File and
select New Live Bookmark.
You'll then be asked to give a name for the Live Bookmark, in this case
we'll choose US National News - Yahoo and then we will paste the feed
location into the feed option that we had copied earlier.
Selecting OK this will add thiis Live Bookmark to the Bookmarks menu and
you can see you can see the list of stories associated with that Live
Bookmark.
Of course you can refresh the same way (as described earlier) and then
as you can see (after refreshing) nothing has changed.
So you can add Live Bookmarks in two ways, either you can use the RSS
feed symbol in the bottom righthand corner of the screen or you can do
it manually if you know the XML feed location.
Live Bookmarks then allow you to go to an of the stories associated with
this list by clicking on the bookmark within the Live Bookmark.
